Enhancing DoD Civilian Leader Development with the Civilian Leader Improvement Battery (CLIMB)

Abstract

The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) created a leader development tool called the Civilian Leader Improvement Battery (CLIMB) to help incumbent and upcoming civilian leaders reach their full performance potential in leadership positions. The CLIMB assesses individual strengths and weaknesses with respect to critical supervisory competencies and also provides testtakers with clear feedback regarding their strengths and weaknesses, plus recommendations for improving identified areas of concern. Because the CLIMB scales have been demonstrably related to civilian leader job performance, the CLIMB assessment and feedback system offers the potential for civilian leaders to make substantive improvements in their job performance.
